I baled a small field this afternoon. Only 50 bales. Really didn't feel like picking by hand.All the other 'haying tractors' were busy. So I put the 1032 stackwagon on my superM.No LPTO,the controls pokeing me in the back.Had to put in neutral every time,no simply stepping on the clutch.Got them picked pretty easy. Made me appreaciate the newer tractors with power steering,LPTO,And not being poked by the controls!LOL Acctually,it was kind of fun being on the 'old Super'.

Out here we All drop them on the ground,, never seen a bale thrower or a wagon used with some one loading them here way too many acres to do and a short time to do it, we also are a dryer climate you can leave them here with little to no damage to them in the fields,, when I put up small squares before going to round bales I would bale 120,000-150,000 a year easy,, I did have a bale wagon then but still it took 2 weeks to a month to finish stacking after baling, our hay is also stacked outside these days I only bale 200-600 small squares and just use my DC and Duncan to sweep them up and load on a trailer,, I do it all alone and can load a trailer in about a 1/2 hr with 250 bales or so, I was loading straw here I sell to the local COOP

Same with me. Why do twice the work. As all the hay has to be under cover before dark. Or before the rain. A wagon you can just put in shed oe even a tarp over to protech against the weather. On the ground you cannot cover each bale out in the field and even if you could the rain would get under the cover and soak the bottom of the bale. Kicker makes a one man operation but hand loading makes it a 2 man operation. Dropping on ground makes it a 2 or more man operation to get all undercover before night or the rain what ever comes first. And we cannot bale before noon because of the dew. usually.
